‘The Flash’: Godspeed To Appear; First Look Leaked

The CW’s The Flash is currently on its fifth season and the series is about to add another speedster to its ranks in Godspeed.

A rumour surfaced online last night, claiming that the eighteenth episode, which is being directed by Caitlyn Snow/Killer Frost actress Danielle Panabaker would be titled “Godspeed“.

Now it’s been confirmed via Canadagraphs who has managed to get a snap of a binder which featured the title of the episode.

Binder featuring episode 518 title.

Godspeed was created by Joshua Williamson and Carmine Di Giandomenico and introduced during DC Comic’s The Flash: Rebirth series in 2016. August Heart, who is better known by his villainous alias as Godspeed, is a colleague and old friend of Barry Allen (aka The Flash) who took on the serial killer persona Godspeed after obtaining Speed Force Powers after being struck by lightning. He began fatally draining the ability of other speedsters in order to make himself stronger, and using this speed to make himself judge, jury and executioner of other criminals in Central City, aiming to avenge his brother’s murder by any means necessary.

With the excitement surrounding the introduction of the character, the first leaked image has surfaced online giving us a glimpse at the villainous speedster. And I got to say, the costume is one of the more comic accurate ones to ever feature in the Arrowverse. The image comes from Twitter user Brittanyxxoxo check it out below:

In recent years, I’ve fallen away from The Flash series, the last season I remember watching religiously was the third season, which had Savitar as the shows big bad. Sadly I gave up with the fourth season as it got a little boring. But with the introduction of Godspeed, it may just pull me back in as I really dug the character in the comics and would be interested to see him in live action.

The Flash has had so many twists and turns over the years, I would be suspect as to who may be under the mask. I hope the show does the character justice and not just use him as a one-off.

But for now, let us know in the comments below your thoughts on Godspeed and how you would like to see his story play out on The Flash.
